President Carter’s birthday yesterday reminded me that it’s never bad to salute some legends of my youth while they are blessedly still with us. I’m sure I’m forgetting many. But these four came to mind. 🙏🙏
A few more American Legends worthy of being honored.

Banning marijuana from the Olympics, but not alcohol, is just a tiny microcosm of the disproportionate drug sentencing along racial lines that have hit minority cultures for over a century.
In the early 20th century, pot was perceived by American lawmakers as a drug only used by Mexican immigrants. As such, the sentencing was always disproportionately harsher than that for “white person drugs” like pills or alcohol. No matter the physiological effects.
American drug sentencing has always been as much about “who” than “what.” It explains the wildly dissimilar sentencing guidelines for crack and powder cocaine. Powder was seen as party drug for rich white people. Crack is not seen that way. The sentencing fully reflects that.
